Sirko recently wrote on his blog about awarding the F24 Release Party Organizer badge only to people who wrote event reports[0] This got me thinking. I wonder if we should propose a new badge and create a new Magazine or Comm Blog Article series. Have a wiki, trac or other method by which people can submit the urls for event reports they write on their blogs. Once a month someone can summarize them into a link post. A few words about what is after each link and a link list. I suggest a title along the lines of "What happened in Fedora last month around the world". Yes, that needs work. The article should be a fairly fast and easy piece to write. It would be a great article for new writers to write as well. The corresponding badge series would be awarded to every blogger whose article gets listed in the link list. It will need to be manually awarded, but is only once per month. The series could be titled something like "Fedora Reporter" with levels like wiki editing, etc. Artwork could be a newspaper seller holding a newspaper and saying "Extra Extra" (or if that is too Americentric, saying nothing. My goal here is to increase the number of event reports and to allow the Project to leverage them for additional PR. I believe that the badge should only be awarded for event reports. So if someone just posts a photo collection we can give them a paparazzi badge or something similar. We can make it clear that we are looking for a detailed event report that covers the basics. They don't need to be transcripts. We can provide a set of questions to help guide writers, but not require them.
